The following census data is not only on my 2nd great grandfather but also on my great grandfather Samuel Robert Kennedy, along with his siblings that were born before 1870. The name was spelled Kennidy on this census record.

The 10 households(neighbors) enumerated before this family with head of household listed first and the rest listed in parenthesis along with ages.

Below is the information from the 1870 Census where John Henry Kennedy was 4 and my great grandfather, Robert Samuel, was approximately 3 months old. If a line is answered with an “X” then it means that particular column on the census was checked. It also appears that a Joe South (brother to Martha J?) resided within the same home.

Name: Kennedy, John G (was spelled Kennidy)
Age at last birthday: 40
Sex: male
Race: white
Occupation: farmer
Value of Real Estate Owned: 440
Value of Personal Estate Owned: 300

Thanks!!! Ben, have you worked on any of Martha’s line any? I know I haven’t posted much about the South line at all, concentrating on getting what I have posted on the Kennedy’s. If my information is correct, there are Bobo’s from VA and Powell’s tied into that line.
